Comprehensive Protection of RFID Traceability Information Systems Using Aggregate Signatures

  • Conference paper
Computational Intelligence in Security for Information Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 6694))

Abstract

This work describes how the use of aggregate signatures can contribute to the comprehensive protection of RFID systems. Following a brief description of a product traceability system based on RFID technology and made secure by the use of aggregate signatures, a review is given of the main security threats to such systems and it is shown how the properties of aggregate signatures can provide comprehensive protection. Throughout the paper the protection measures adopted against the threats described for a real prototype are explained.
